✭✭Really, the only thing I could see could be added that would be sort of in line with TES lore, would be spears, polearms and throwing weapons. Possibly sword+staff Gandalf-style.0 -

Sykis✭I agree that imagination is there. I would also enjoy more weapons skill options but I would want more practical options first such as spear, pole arm, crossbow, maybe dual wield staff and sword/dagger or even with a shield. Your WOW reference is ok but game mechanics are a lot different and that skill was only available to a single class and single subclass. Plus, as far as I remember there was a big down side to doing that, I'm not sure if they changed it. If ESO considered dual wielding 2H and shield or dual wield 2H, they would also have to come up with a way to balance it. With this games mechanics the downside to using that setup might be more than is worth. I.e; with dual 2H you attack 15% slower or have a 15 % chance to miss while doing so. Just as an example. There would have to be a down side otherwise why would ppl, once they hit max 2H man shield, even use those likes anymore making them unless.0

The elf chick in the the opening movie (and on the ESO Ps4 theme screen) uses a 1 handed sword and cast spells. I mean like green mist stuff shot out of her hand and a keep wall fell down while wiping out half an army of Deadra. She must of had mad stacks of camo hunter up. I got the game and I'm looking around like ???? Where's 1 hand and spell? Heh
Come to think of it, who the hell where those people anyway? Beardy McViking, Elf Chick, Silver Sorcerer, and Hooded Bowdude? They weren't even in the game. Ah well got off track.0 -
Kozer✭✭✭Actually I would kind of like to see something like a "Twinblade" in the game. Think...Well I guess either the twinblades from Darksouls 2 or the...Warglaive of Azzinoth? I think? From WoW0 -

✭Instead of having a weird "it's like normal but with a bigger weapon" concept I'd rather just have more, interesting weapon types.
Spear/Pike/Halberd
Double Glaive
Crossbow (either 2h or dual 1h)
Sword and Staff might be cool
As an alternative to a staff though, I'd like a rune-enscribed hand wrap or something that let us cast the same spells from the same Fire/Lightning/Frost Staff trees while having the appearance of having nothing in our hands. The hand wraps could take up both slots, similar to a staff.Edited by BBSooner on July 27, 2015 2:46PM0 -

✭I would like to be able to equip 2 2h weapons and use them for Dual Wield. That being said, IF we were given this ability they should revert to the same damage as 2 1h weapons. Personally, the existing 2h weapons aren't big enough(battleaxe mainly) and would look really cool as Dual Wield. They should update them so if you have 1 equipped in the main weapon spot then it's a 2h, then if you add another they both change to 1h. It would be really cool to have larger weapons.
In addition to this, they should increase the size of 2h weapons by 25%. They are meant to be terrifying and much larger than anything 1 handed.NA Server - Kildair0 -

So if I get read this right...you want to dual wield 2 '2-handed' weapons, which already wouldn't be physically possible, but then you also want them to be 25% bigger? 'They are meant to be terrifying' so why would you need two?
Think practical not fantastical. Dw 2h is not an option to anyone living in reality.Edited by UTG_Zilla on July 27, 2015 2:55PM0 -

I'd be happy if they just increased the size by 25%. I don't see either actually happening anyway so it's not a big deal.NA Server - Kildair0 -

To be honest idk even know why you would suggest that. 2h great swords are already like 3/4th the size of some characters. So if it was 25% bigger, then my khajiit would be dragging the sword behind him, which would dull and ruin the blade. And a single swing of a blade that size would take biceps the size of the hulks and immense shoulder size. Again, think practical not fantastical. Yea, I wanna dw a hand bow with a dagger/sword but is that physically possible? No, and I accept that.0 -

It'd be possible for just nords (because theyre generally taller) and that's it, any other race would be dragging the weapon behind them while its "sheathed".
And even then it wouldn't 'drag', it would just go thru the ground which visually would just look like a horrible mistake on the developers end.0
